Hi,
	I visited your web page, to see how your genetic alogerithm is powerfull,
and I was surprised by the result and by the way that all the learning is
prossesd.
I am a stuend in motnreal canada, in Polytechnique, and I am sutdyin
computer engeniring, and now I am develloping another Tron game, and I am
trying to implement a good algorythm in my game so The user could play
agains the computer, I started this algorythm since 1 week only and the
computer made somme "stupid" mode :)
you could take a look at my game, check this url: 

http://members.tripod.com/~tronpro
the game is really in beta process sothe help in the game is not complet,
it's better if you check the Help one the net

http://members.tripod.com/~tronpro/help.htm

if you are interested to help me or to give me some hint to make my
Computer in the game more "Inteligent", so please reply to me

N.B.: I tryed to run your tron java applet with IE4.0 and it's not working
but under Netscape it's working,
under IE4.0 I see the firest screen shot of your game and the start button
is available but when I click Start nothing happen ???
maybe this will help you

thanks

Hii
   Well my game is a DOS game so it will run in DOS or in mS-Dos prompt
under win95 ..I never tested under NT ..

and by the way, your robot is getting better ... but I wanna know one
thing, is it abble to implement another robot in your game so you could
check wich robot is smarter.
I am askingthat, because I Want to test the robot that I develloped in my
Tron against yours ??
maybe this will be a good challenge and good idea to devellop more and more
...

thing about it and give me some feedback

thanks for replying to my e-mail
